  • Iraqi forces breach New Mosul and Nablus neighborhoods, encountering heavy IS resistance
  • Intensive artillery fire on Mosul’s old city causes dozens of civilian casualties
  • IS militants burn schools in Nablus, bus civilians to front lines to act as human shields
  • Over 1,000 people displaced from areas west of Mosul flee to Iraqi Army positions, and remain in dire need of emergency supplies

Editor's Note: Iraq Oil Report gathers daily updates on security and humanitarian developments inside Mosul city and surrounding IS-held areas in Ninewa province from a network of local reporters, residents, resistance fighters, and IS militants. Because of the physical risks associated with information-gathering in these areas, these reports are not comprehensive, and many cannot be immediately confirmed via multiple, reliable sources. Nonetheless, we believe there is a significant public interest in publishing this reporting.

The Custom Research Service of Iraq Oil Report also collects hard data on violence in IS-held territory, compiles maps and analysis of trends, and tracks economic indicators including commodity prices.
